He has no doubt that world GDPs will roar back in the second half of 2021, and so the indexes make sense. But he's worried there's too much enthusiasm, especially with the IPOs of DoorDash and Airbnb, which have never really been profitable. It gives him little shivers, reminding him a bit of 2000.
